Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This add on has relieved the mental anguish from trawling through endless web pages of people complaining about this issue, thank you! My only question is; it doesn't seem to work more than once. eg: when i click my firefox shortcut icon to open firefox the first time it works great, the cursor is in the google box. Then i click the shortcut again to open another window and the cursor is in the URL box again (also doesn't clear the second windows URL box). Is this something i am doing wrong?

A Bug!

It seems you've found a bug. In my opinion, it is annoying that the focus is not handled well when a new window is opened. However, fixing it is starting to expand CNT from "new tabs" into "new windows." It's complicated, especially considering the fact that Firefox gives the option to "open the tabs and windows from last time." If you're interested, there is a new version of CNT here: https://github.com/deadmund/Custom-New-Tab but I am still testing it so I'm holding off on automatic uptdates for now.

Requested feature : blank urlbar (for a local file for example)Rated 4 out of 5 stars

However, it would be great to add the ability to hide the url, so it would make the custom new tab page look like the standard about:newtab. I personnaly use a local file for the new tab, so seeing the url to my local file in the urlbar is useless.

"Hahaha, I know this bug is frustrating, sorry about that! The "erase the user's new tab URL code" was in every version of the add-on, 1.9.1 and lower. Unfortunately, because the previous version installed on your machine was 1.9.1, I knew the bug was there, but had no way to stop it from activating when you updated to 1.9.2. It should never happen again now!"

You seem to know whereof you speak. I look forward to this 'never happening again'. Hey, at least I learned how to do a teeny tiny fix! Now, if I could only fix my tablet. Thanks, Ed.

Fixes FireFox cursor Brainfart.Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Worked well for my only issue. I configured FF to open new tabs to the Google search page rather than the default: As with so many other users, FF started putting the cursor for a new tab on the address bar rather than on the more logical Google search box (my case). This requires a mouse action to reposition the initial cursor position and would invariably leads to typing in the address bar by mistake.... a complete FF brainfart for sure. No one goes to a site url specifically for the purpose of entering some different location into the address bar. Daaaa! This add-on fixes this FireFox cursor BUG, allowing you to put the cursor in the right place.

Simple, PerfectRated 5 out of 5 stars

First off, some of the previous reviews are ridiculously rude, and even then the developer responded with professionalism. Kudos to this guy. Donating.

This add-on does exactly what it's supposed to, and it does it very well. When there's a bug, the dev acknowledges it and fixes it. Again, donation incoming. Keep up the great work, most of us appreciate your efforts.
